Jorge's testimonial is not unlike what I experienced with my first and current Class D amps.
If that sounds appealing to the buyer, I suspect one has little to lose.
Class D and the better tube amp combos I have heard tend to have a lot of similarities, but its a stretch to say that Class D sounds like tubes or vice versa.
ANy speaker that attempts to deliver extended bass out of a small box should benefit the most in general from a good Class D amp. NHT probably qualifies.
It generally requires a large and expensive quality tube amp with MANY tubes to accomplish the same that way. Other speaker designs that are easier to drive are best suited for most tube amps. Some like some planars, might do best either way.
